About the experience

** Basic price includes up to 5 people **
Extra : €20 each.


Set sail from Kissamos Port and leave the world behind as you journey toward one of Crete’s most sacred and untouched coastal sanctuaries — Menies. This exclusive 6-hour private cruise isn’t just about the destination; it’s about the feeling of letting go, breathing deep, and reconnecting with something timeless.

Your route winds along the rugged Cape Spatha, where the sea is untamed and the scenery raw. After 50 minutes of smooth cruising, you arrive at Menies Beach — a secluded haven where deep blue waters meet a pebbled shore that echoes ancient worship. Once the site of the city of Diktinna, this bay still cradles the ruins of a Roman temple dedicated to the goddess Vritomartis. Swim in total serenity, snorkel above quiet underwater landscapes, or simply lie back and let the silence speak.

Onboard, you’ll enjoy every comfort: snorkeling equipment, a quality stereo system, shadow awning, bow sunbed, ice cooler, swimming ladder, plus refreshing soft drinks, water, and snacks — everything you need to let go and drift.

This isn’t a tourist stop. It’s a sacred pause in time. A place where Crete still whispers her ancient truths to those who listen.

Ready to find peace in a place time forgot? Book your private Menies escape now — and let tranquility guide you.

    Yannis was perfect. We had a wonderful day discovering some of the most wonderful places in the world. Yannis was very attentive, and we had a great time with him. If we return to Crete, we'll do exactly the same thing ?

    Very good experience. The boat is not very big but it was perfect for 4 people. The skipper's expertise allowed us to travel comfortably and discover beautiful places.

    Special mention to Captain Giannis. We had a very windy day with waves (up to 2 meters), and he handled the boat very well. I would definitely book with him again. The only thing I didn't like is that the ad says fuel is included, but then says it isn't. I thought it was excessive to pay an extra €80. Still, we enjoyed the experience. One thing to improve: instead of wine, some aperitif beers would be better.

    Excellent day with Dimitris who showed us the magnificent beach of Balos, the island of Gramvousa and small coves off the beaten track. I recommend it.
